Abstract
The incidence of perioperative complications is well known to be greater in patients with OSA than in the baseline population. This has led to the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine developing clinical practice guidelines for the perioperative management of patients with OSA. Post OSA surgery patients will have not only more difficult airway management but also altered drug sensitivity, a higher risk of undiagnosed comorbid disease, and the potential for operative site bleeding complicating an already difficult airway.
